Kitchens are funny spaces. It seems that no matter how big or small, we could always use just a little more space. Fortunately, Normandy Designers have a few tricks up their sleeves to make the most of every square inch.
Finding forgotten space can be like winning a game. With the right creative eye, it’s possible to eek out just a little bit more space in almost any kitchen.
1. The shallow cabinet – This is a great choice when other cabinetry is nearby and you can make the shallow cabinet look as though it’s part of the complete run. Depending on its location, it can be a good place for spices or cooking oils.
2. Recessed niche – This one is the ultimate in found space. It doesn’t work in every application, but you can take advantage of the space between the studs of your wall by creating a small niche.
3. Shallow shelves – Shelves are the most flexible 
of the options, and can be as shallow or as deep as the space allows. You can use these for decorative purposes, like showing off Grandma’s antique salt & pepper shakers, or they can have a more practical use, say to store your favorite teas.
To get the most out of your kitchen, the planning starts long before you begin incorporating these finishing touches. Set up a time to talk with a Designer about how to plan for your new kitchen, or find inspiration anytime on Facebook or Instagram.
Freestanding tubs are here to stay – Freestanding bathtubs have been popular for the past few years, with no sign of backing down. They are loved for the bathing experience they offer as well as their beauty. Elegant shapes can create a striking focal point in the bathroom, and their higher sides and excellent 
Make-up tables – Between morning prep and night time regimens, there is plenty of time spent in front of a mirror taking care of our skin. A comfortable spot with everything at your fingertips helps you slow down, and encourages you to enjoy the peaceful rituals of daily self-care.
Conservation is key – Elaborate showers with multiple fixtures and body sprays are being traded in for a more modest showering experience that uses much less water. That doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice your water therapy for the sake of the planet. Engineering advances have created luxurious showering experiences, using a fraction of the water. Fixtures have more options than ever to let you customize the pressure and spray type you prefer, often self-contained within a shower head or hand-held option.
